INTRODUCTION
Beneath the compact and stylish exterior of the RG2200 is a powerful media delivery system. The RG2200 is different from
other video boxes that you may have encountered. Some competitor boxes are designed to deliver one video/audio chan-
nel to a single TV and/or VCR device. In contrast, the compact RG2200 delivers the functionality of two or three high-qual-
ity digital video boxes in a single package. Depending on the model you have, the RG2200 can deliver separate xDSL
video services to up to three TVs at the same time. It also provides a high-speed xDSL modem for Internet access and tele-
phony capabilities, such as Caller ID and Message Waiting display.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL
The information in this manual is applicable to ADSL or VDSL versions of the Residential Gateway RG2200. The term
xDSL is a generic term, used in this manual, to refer to both ADSL and VDSL technologies.
GETTING STARTED on page 15 contains the information you use most frequently and helps you understand how the RG2200
works after your NSP (network service provider) has connected and programmed its functions. It also describes how to use
the RG2200 remote control to access and control the basic features of the RG2200.
ADVANCED USE on page 33 provides more technical information about the RG2200 and gives instructions about how to set
up and program your system.
CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES on page 57 illustrates possible component wiring configurations of the RG in your system to aid
you if you want to move your equipment or connect additional equipment such as an entertainment center or a new VCR.
CONNECTING YOUR PC TO THE INTERNET on page 53 briefly explains connecting your PC to the Internet using an optional
Ethernet card or HPNA card. Illustrations show configurations for setting up a LAN (local area network) in your home.
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 69 provides help for problem resolution.

11
WHAT YOUR NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER DOES
The NSP (network service provider) is the company that installs your telephone and data services, as well as possibly pro-
viding Internet service. Some telephone companies, however, use an ISP (Internet service provider) company to offer Inter-
net service to their customers.
During the initial installation your NSP does the following:
• Installs the RG2200 and connects it to your home entertainment system.
• Sets all features and services to which you have subscribed including:
• Wiring additional rooms with coaxial cable for secondary TVs.
• Connecting secondary TVs (TV2 and TV3) to the network and to any splitters and RAP(s) (remote antenna pack-
age) that are required.
• Connects and configures your PC(s) to access the Internet.
• Ensures that all the remote controls in your home used with your RG2200 are the correct model.
• Installs the batteries in your remote control.
• Programs your remote control(s) to operate a specific TV.
• Provides labels for your remote controls to let you label one remote for each TV.
• Writes the remote control IDs in the space provided (see form below).

12
ABOUT RF CHANNELS
Your NSP sets your TV to operate on a specific RF channel. This setting allows you to receive video and audio broadcast
services.
Programming the TV to an RF channel is similar to setting a TV to a specific channel, such as channel 3, in order to view
movies played on your VCR. After the RF channel has been set, it is recommended that you do not change it, as you will no
longer be able to receive programming unless you retune your TV to a new RF channel.
Once your TV is tuned to the specified RF channel, the RG2200 and your remote allow you to surf through the channel line-
up and tune to any program from any TV viewing location. The table below demonstrates how the TV outputs and the RF
channels work together to deliver video and audio programming.
TV OUTPUT Ports RF Channel1
TV1 NETWORK IN/TV OUT
and/or
TV OUT
3, 4, 5, or 6
TV2 7, 8, 9 or 102
TV3 (VDSL only) 112, 12 or 13
1. These RF channels are representative only. Actual RF channels used will vary according to location
and will be determined by your NSP.
2. To avoid interference, do not use channels 10 and 11 simultaneously.

13
WRITE YOUR REMOTE CONTROL AND OTHER IDSHERE
You may wish to label each of your remote controls so you can easily identify which TV they have each been programmed
to control. Ask your service provider for labels if they have not already been provided for you.
Write your remote control ID here:
TV1 _____ TV2 _____ TV3 _____
Write your TV code here:
TV1 _____ TV2 _____ TV3 _____
Write your Gateway ID here:
____ ____ ____

OPTIONAL GATEWAY FEATURES
CLOSED CAPTIONING
The RG2200 supports closed captioning capability. Refer to your TV User’s Guide for instructions on how to use closed
captioning.
TELETEXT
Some televisions in European countries support Teletext. Teletext data is passed through the RG2200 to your television.
Refer to your TV’s User’s Guide for instructions on how to use Teletext.

USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control allows you to control TV viewing from anywhere in your home. Your NSP (or yourself) can program it to
operate your TV as well as your RG2200. The remote control operates by sending either IR (infrared) or UHF (ultra-high
frequency) signals to the RG2200. Your Network Service Provider programs your remote to operate in the most appropriate
mode for your home.
If your remote control is programmed for IR mode, it requires a direct line-of-sight in order to function. In other words, you
need to point an IR remote directly to the television or the RG2200. You can only use an IR remote to operate a TV that is
located in the same room as the RG2200. If your primary TV (TV1) located in a different room than the RG2200, the remote
must be programmed to use UHF mode.
Remote controls that control secondary TVs (TV2, TV3), are also programmed to operate in UHF mode.
REMOTE CONTROL MODELS
Two models of remote control can be used with the RG2200. They are the SRC-300 and the SRC-200. To tell which model
you have, consult the label on the back of the remote control. The SRC-300 and the SRC-200 differ slightly. Both are
described in the following sections.
